Coffin's Achievements Known the World Over Where Motor Oars Are Used Probatoly no engineer in the auto mobile business is so universally known, and none is held in higher esteem than Howard E. Coflin, the famous designer of the Hudson cars. His achievements ; arc the world around, wherever j motor cars are used. He h*s designed i nearly a dozen cars, and it is his rec ; ord that lie never built a failure. With ! thousands of brainy engineers constant- I ly working on motor car problems, Mr. ' Coffin's genuine is shown in the fact | that whatever he touches, he improves. He built the first four-eyliivller oar of high grade to sell at a popular price. For years he experimented with the six-evlindcr car, while the public was contentedly driving his splendid four : cylinder production. Many users felt that this four-cylinder car reached the acme of perfection. When all was ready, Mr. Coffin produced his six-cylin- | viler automobile. While many improve ! meats have been made on the first Hud 1 son Six, still it was practically a per fect production when it was put on th>e market. Unfortunately this cannot be said of all new ideas iu automobiles. I Very many engineers in their haste to get a new thing before the public, i endeavor to put it in'to commercial form , and get it into the hands of users while it is still in a more or less ex perimental state. One of the reasons for the wonderful success that has at ! tended cars designed by Mr. Coffin in ' tllis fact that each and" every ear was i practically a perfected motor car be fore he allowed it to be produced and marketed. Mr. I. W. Dill, local dealer, is ex hibiting the Hudson ear and a number |of commercial trucks at the Sixth An- I nual Auto Show, Arena nml Rex Oar i age.—Adv. * « AMERICAN MOTORCYCLISTS i ____ Movement to Organize Motorcycle Com ! From F. A. M. Clubs for Volunteer Military Service Colonel Mortimer Delano, chief of the First AViation Corps, United States Army, has started a movement to or ganize motorcycle companies from all jof the F. A. M. clubs for volunteer military service. If the enthusiasm with which the scheme has been re ceived by the clubs to which it has so i far been presented can be used as a guide, the movement will meet with unlimited success. For instance, in Milwaukee when Colonel Delano pre sented his plan, thirty-tive riders im mediately agreed to join the corps, and it is anticipated that the majority of 1 the remaining members of the Mil | waukee Motorcycle Club will also enlist. The longest endurance run ever un dertaken by the Koqnoke t Va.) Motor cycle Club is being arranged for June 19. . The course covers 245 alto j gether through the mountain regions of Virginia, crossing the highest range of both the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains.

It was the trainload of seventeen cars of Reo automobiles that put Har risburg on the automobile map and that made a striug of automobile:! when unloaded on Tenth street reaching from Market south to the Mulberry street bridge, the longest string of new auto mobiles of any kind ever seen by any resident of Harrisburg at one time and is proof positive that the Reo is a very popular car. The sales of the Harris burg Automobile Company will be close on to four hundred pleasure cars and two hundred trucks this year. The Heo Company are adding to their line of trucks a three-quarter to a ton truck, electrically equipped, 120-inch wheel base, built out of their four-cylinder touring car engine and their six-cylinder construction from the flywheel back that will stand alone for trucks of this capacity and type at the price which will be a trifle over a thousand dol lars. It can be truthfully said that Harrisburg is one of the numerous homes of the Reo and that there is an unlimited number of Reo owners who are Reo enthusiasts from start to finish. The financial standing of the Reo Mo tor Car Company, their up-to-date and progressive policy, their ability to sell completely their every year's output on schedule time has made it 'possible far them to be right on the job in putting the latest, newest and most up-to-date equipments on their cars. The fact that Reo cars can be driven five thou sand miles on an average cost of less than o cents a mile for everything ex clusive of the operator, has brought a host of Reo owners and enthusiasts to their camp.—Adv.* SWISS MILITARY SYSTEM.
